Former NBA player Rafer Alston is being sued by a Connecticut man for allegedly assaulting him outside a strip club in Queens, N.Y., the New York Post reports.

Erick Franceschini, 32, is accusing Alston of hitting him over the head with beer bottle outside of Perfection Gentleman's Club in July 2010. A dispute, Franceschini’s lawyer, John Rapawy, says, began inside the club and spilled into the street. That’s where Alston attacked Franceschini, the suit claims.

Rapawy told The Post that Alston "unjustifiably assaulted and (beat)" Franceschini. "My client had 12 staples in his head. He suffered a concussion," the lawyer said.

Franceschini filed a police report, but Alston was not arrested. Police could not comment further.

The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages from Alston, as well as the strip club, according to The Post.

Alston, 35, was arrested in 2007 for “slashing a man in the neck during a fight at a Manhattan nightclub,” The Post notes.

Alston, nicknamed “Skip to My Lou” during his playing days, averaged 10.1 points, 4.8 assists and 1.2 steals over his 11-year NBA career. He played for six different teams—Milwaukee, Toronto, Miami, Houston, Orlando and New Jersey.
